In 2014 I joined Dropbox to work with Ryan Putnam as the primary brand illustrators. Shortly after my arrival Kristen Spilman was hired as Creative Director, and the 3 of us formed what would become Dropbox Brand Studio. My primary role was to develop illustration as a branded tool for storytelling, while also making it scalable for multiple illustrators to execute within. Ryan Putnam liked to call what we did “designing illustration”, and I’ve always felt that was a great way to describe it.
